eh, the biologist scenes are hampered by the addition of some sample collection and things that don't ever really pay off in the film in any way as well as still not answering WHY he's terrified of dead bodies but excited by living aliens...i would have just cherry-picked the line of dialogue about how he's excited by the "find of the century" in that we've never found lifeforms on other planets.
i know what i just said flies in the face of my excitement thing, but no matter how it's sliced in what i've actually seen FILMED, there's no justification for his freakout over the pile of dead bodies and then subsequent elation at finding a living creature. there's a line or two of dialogue in the first draft of the script that explain it better, but i haven't seen those filmed at all.

and honestly, while the holloway scenes add more to the WHY of his character, he comes off like more of a whiny, petulant, snot and a jackass to boot. i'm glad they were cut because they make him seem like such an unlikable prick.

He's an unlikable prick regardless.

But I'd rather have an unlikable prick who is consistent than one who inexplicably acts like a baby.

[quote]Damon Lindelof: I am not. Ridley [Scott] and I talked at great length during the story process of the first movie about what subsequent movies would be if Prometheus were to be successful. And I think that the movie ended in a very specific way that hinted at, or strongly implied that there were going to be continuing adventures worthy of writing stories. What those stories would be would not necessarily usurp or transcend the Alien franchise as we saw it because we know that the Nostromo hasn’t come along yet. So the idea was to set up a universe that… Is it a prequel? Okay. If that’s what we want to call it, sure. But the sequel to this movie is not Alien. The sequel to this movie is this other thing.

So Ridley and I talked about what that other thing might be, and he was excited about doing it. But then I think what ended up happening was that the movie came out, and there was a reaction to the movie. And I got really wrapped up in Trek, and really wrapped up in this movie that I’m producing and writing with Brad Bird. And I have a TV project that I was really passionate about. Ridley and I had a meeting after Prometheus came out where we started talking again about where this journey would go. And in that meeting I said to him, unfortunately, before he could ask me and go through the discomfort of whether he was going to ask me or not… It’s sort of like having a date where you’re letting the other person know, “I’m in another relationship.â€
